YASE (Yet Another Search Engine......)

Cuil (pronounced COOL) launched on 28th Jul '08 provides organized and relevant results based on Web page content analysis. It derives its name from an old Irish word for knowledge (co-founder and CEO, Tom Costello is from Drogheda, Ireland)

The company is led by husband-and-wife team Tom Costello and Anna Patterson.

Costello researched and developed search engines at Stanford University and IBM while Anna Patterson is best known for her work at Google, where she was the architect of the company’s large search index and led a Web page ranking team.

Cuil gives users a richer display of results and offers organizing features, such as tabs to clarify subjects (google .. we need this !!), images to identify topics and search refining suggestions to help guide users to the results they seek.

Some of the claims made by the Cuil Team:
1.] Cuil has indexed 120 billion Web pages
2.] Cuil ranks results by the content on each page, not its popularity (..will be worth looking at this algo !)

Worth a look, but google replacement ??? ...i'm guessin not !!
